Optimizing Fedora 31 VM w/GUI for remote access

If you have Gnome 3, install gnome-tweak-tool.

Not a lot of tweaking to be done. Removing animations definitely helps. But other than that, the desktop is what it is.

Currently Windows 10 RDP works incredibly well but trying to loan Gnome or Fedora has been much slower.
What is the point here. What are you "trying to learn" in a GUI?
You do not "learn" desktop environments. You simply use them. If your desktop environment requires a lot of education to use, it is shit and you need to choose another one.

Jared is correct. Outside of two minutes to learn where the start button is and what the theme looks like, there is no learning of a desktop, any desktop. It's not only not an IT skill, it's not a power user skill, or even an end user skill.
It would be similar to "learning a writing utensil". But pen, pencil, crayon... once you know how to write you don't learn a new one, you just use it.

I was just curious if anyone knew of anything else. Can't know without asking

If you're looking to learn about it, dconf is where you set the properties for GNOME 3. Tweak tool exposes a small number of these. Dconf-editor will give a gui tool to manage all of the settings or you can manage them through normal dump configs in /etc/dconf/db/ and then the database directory you want to manage.
Use the dump directories if you want to automate things like login messages, disabling the picker for usernames to force typing it in, disabling the power button without signing in, etc.

The MOST common practice is to not use a GPU-based desktop. LXQt, XFCE, MATE, etc. are entire environments designed for that purpose.
There are no real changes I can make to just reduce the load though and still use fedora?
No one mentioned an alternative to Fedora. Everything we are talking about is ways of setting up Fedora.
I meant Gnome, just misspoke
